"People rely on clothes and clothing" This is nothing new. Now, even beverages are also particular about fancy clothes and styling. The ethos of modern product packaging can be said to have become increasingly fierce.
These "new generation beverages" that pay attention to special packaging designs from inside to outside are gradually penetrating the global beverage market. Packaging aesthetics has been cultivated to make Japan a perfect place to produce new-generation beverages. The special packaged drinks produced by Japan have rushed to the trendy supermarkets in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Singaporeans also Hajj. Local supermarkets have also seen signs of new generations of drinks in recent years.
The reporter visited the local supermarkets for a while and observed that the local beverage market is still dominated by traditional beverages. In a row of drink racks, the new generation of drinks plays a role of embellishment.
When refrigerated supermarkets were consulted, they revealed that the top five best-selling non-alcoholic drinks were: Coca Cola, Ice Mountain Mineral Water, Pepsi Cola, Volvic Mineral Water, and Qoo Juice Drinks (in no particular order).
With the exception of the Qoo juice drink that was unveiled in the local market in the middle of this year, it is a member of the new generation drink, and all other beverages are traditional beverages.
Even if the status of traditional beverages is firm on the sales list, these types of beverages, known as "new generation drinks," emerge in an endless stream, and obviously have received very good market responses.
Drinks are no longer just thirst-quenching, but also the drinking man's declaration - choose a cool drink packaging, is equal to put on a personalized coat, tell everyone: "I'm different!"
